All the UK media reporting making headlines today has not been vetted yet by investigative wing of US MSM media and should be read with grains of salt. Let's wait till all the facts come out before jumping to conclusions.

Trump is not perfect but to be fair, can we blame him for taking such proactive step given how reckless some WH staffers can be in leaking rumors like these without confirmed proof?
Only mistake he made was not having author of 'Fire n Fury' sign similar NDA during his extended stay as a free wheeling, free dealing guest of White House. That was a costly mistake that according to newsweek raised odds of impeachment.

As a side note, do NDAs apply during staff's Mueller interviews too or those are exempt?

There was media speculation earlier that such charges will come up after Mueller interviews "free thinking" Trump but looks like they are pushing one out of the two items even before the interview.
This is sort of following Clinton investigation trajectory, investigations started over ABC but final charges were about XYZ.

That is not a fully accurate translation but taking it on face value, in current political developments there will be very little to dissect & analyze here if political discussion was limited to only confirmed facts relating to the parties involved (leader in chief vs media). Very large number of top political headlines are "unreliable" facts but those have big impact on masses nonetheless.

Might not be fair comparison as both totals seem at least a day old but he's not getteing as much traction apparently as other Trump adversary in news this week:
Trump’s adversaries steal the spotlight after wild 24 hours
Stormy Daniels and Andrew McCabe have a bigger platform than ever before.

It appears its use could take a hit:

To be fair, there might be grudges involved in some of recent media coverage about him.
Jared Kushner Told Joe Scarborough: Talk to President Trump About ‘Enquirer’ Dirt
The president’s son-in-law advised the ‘Morning Joe’ host to speak to the president directly about an upcoming tabloid ‘hit piece.’
06.30.17
On Friday, MSNBC hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough made the explosive claim that three of President Donald Trump’s most senior White House aides “warned” the couple that the tabloid The National Enquirer would publish dirt on them unless they “begged” the president to intervene.
https://www.thedailybeast.com/jared-kushner-told-joe-scarborough-talk-to-president-trump-about-enquirer-dirt

Such chatter may have been sparked by comments of some media hosts but seems mostly speculative and without a credible basis. There is also almost certain chance of a bipartisan Congressional revolt in the unlikely case that such conspiratorial "distraction" news scenarios actually became reality.
Granted White House would prefer not to see March 25th CBS 60 minutes interview of Stormy broadcasted and Trump publicly joining lawsuit aimed at stopping Stormy from talking about alleged affair raises stakes, highly unlikely that White House would create even bigger probems just to distract public attention from other potential problems.

Trouble for Trump if Mueller meets Stormy

Avenatti also told Cuomo that Daniels has faced physical threats, saying she'll disclose more details in an upcoming "60 Minutes" interview later this month. He would not answer whether or not it was someone close to the President who threatened her, and later told CNN he couldn't answer a question about whether he or Daniels filed a police report.

It is simple. To defend our freedoms, our way of life by supporting current bold Prez's trusted policy maker Nikki Haley, our closest dictatorship ally radical sharia law anti-torture regime of Saudi and our closest ally only non-racist democracy in mideast Israel. And that to be done without putting boots on the ground and by limiting bloodbath of local people to unlimited.
All this is highly non-racist, non-greedy freedom doctrine.
Is there any confusion still?

Could be factor for 2018 midterms too with Dems possible impeachment play & roping Trump in "obstruction of justice/lying" through Mueller probe as happened in case of Bill Clinton.
Another interesting observation about media coverage. MSNBC is giving it wall to wall coverage on all their shows and but you won't know if this scandal even existed if you watched Foxnews ( zero coverage... could be because Trump reportedlu watched Fox often.) Ironically, WSJ (also owned by Rupert who owns Foxnews) broke this story and had led substantial investigative reporting on this relating to secret shell company used ny Trump's lawyer.
If this is an inside job, would be double D chess.
Could be media wants to make WH stressful and force mistakes ahead of Mueller-Trump interview.
Loyal Trump supporters says Trump is "not blackmailable". He also says Trump went with keepers of the swap when he was forced out but that is s whole different topic.

How can you make such a conclusion? Current Prez surrounds himself with best of the best.
Also, Syria is very anti Israel.

Pretty dramatic change:
Republicans abandon tax cut message in Pa. special election
It’s a sign they think the issue isn’t resonating — potentially a big problem in the midterms.
By KEVIN ROBILLARD

Republicans backed away from their signature tax-cut law in the final days of a closely watched special House election in the Pittsburgh suburbs — even though it's the very accomplishment on which they had banked their midterm election hopes.

2 New York City Firefighters Killed in Iraq Helicopter Crash By AL BAKER and THOMAS GIBBONS-NEFFMARCH 16, 2018
Christopher J. Raguso A day after a United States military helicopter crashed during a troop transport mission in western Iraq, the grim news traveled nearly 6,000 miles west, back to New York: Two city firefighters were among the service members killed.
Fire officials spent the day working to gather details of the deaths — the first of New York City firefighters serving in a war zone since Christian P. Engeldrum, 39, was killed in November 2004, when a roadside bomb detonated near his convoy outside Baghdad.
In Thursday’s crash, American officials could not immediately say why the aircraft, an HH-60 Pave Hawk, went down near the city of Qaim, killing all seven service members aboard, although enemy fire was not believed to be the cause.
Officials did not immediately identify the dead. But in conversations among firefighters, in military circles and on social media, it became clear that the casualties had struck hard a band of colleagues attached to the New York Air National Guard 106th Rescue Wing, which is stationed in Westhampton Beach, N.Y., on Long Island’s East End.

President Obama: ‘Hillary Got Me Fired Up’
July 5, 2016
“My faith in Hillary Clinton has always been rewarded,” Obama said, after taking the stage and repeating his own campaign rallying cry, telling the crowd, “Hillary got me fired up.”
“There has never been any man or woman more qualified for this office than Hillary Clinton, and that’s the truth,”

Once in a while WaPo does print news with potential to inform. Perhaps the Trump inspired growing wedge between moderate/left-wing, pro Iraq-war zionism of WaPo/NYT and hard-right pro-Israeli settlements zionism of the Kushner family is resulting in some infighting that might benefit tax payers in the end.

Evangelical pastor John Hagee, the leader of Christians United for Israel (CUFI), the US’ largest pro-Israel organization and the most powerful group in the Christian Zionist movement, has adamantly insisted that Christian Zionism is anti-Semitic.
